During her time at West College Scotland, Olivia was also working part time as lead Makeup Artist for the in house salon at Gleneagles Hotel, where she worked full time after graduation. She was responsible for bridal bookings, corporate groups and working on events such as the makeup for both UK and USA pro golf teams for the Solheim Cup in 2019.
